A technique is provided for completing a subterranean wellbore. A wellbore completion combines a distributed sensing system, such as a distributed temperature sensing system, with at least one flow control valve and a pumping system. The flow control valve is controllable without the need for intervention or with low-cost intervention.

What is claimed is: 1. A completion for use in a subterranean wellbore, comprising: a lower tubing including a pair of valves adapted to be deployed in the wellbore; the lower tubing being sealing engaged to at least one packer; the pair of valves being disposed below the at least one packer and to control flow from at least two formations; an upper completion section including a pump adapted to be selectively and removably deployed in the wellbore, wherein the upper completion section comprises a production tubing having a bypass and a Y-block, the pump being located in the Y-block; and a distributed sensing system extending across at least one formation. 2. The completion as recited in claim 1, wherein the distributed sensing system comprises a distributed temperature sensing system at least partially disposed within the production tubing. 3. The completion as recited in claim 2, wherein the distributed temperature sensing system comprises an optical fiber deployed within a stinger. 4. A method for completing a subterranean wellbore, comprising: deploying a lower tubing in the wellbore proximate a formation; functionally sealing the lower tubing to the wellbore by use of a first packer and a second packer in the wellbore; disposing a first valve between the first packer and the second packer and a second valve below the second packer; selectively and removably deploying a pump in the wellbore; measuring a temperature profile across the at least one formation; controlling fluid flow between the formation and the lower tubing with the at least one valve; and engaging the lower tubing with a production tubing having a bypass and a Y-block; and positioning the pump in the Y-block. 5. A method for completing a subterranean wellbore, comprising: deploying a lower tubing in the wellbore proximate a formation; functionally sealing the lower tubing to the wellbore utilizing a ported completion packer as an uppermost packer and a plurality of open hole packers positioned below the ported completion packer; disposing at least one valve on the lower tubing and below the ported completion packer; selectively and removably deploying a pump in the wellbore; measuring a temperature profile across the at least one formation; controlling fluid flow between the formation and the lower tubing with the at least one valve wherein the uppermost packer has an upper completion section comprising a production tubing having a bypass and a Y-block, a pump being located in the Y-block. 6. A system for completing a subterranean wellbore, comprising: a first packer deployed in a cased section of a wellbore; a second packer deployed below the first packer in an open hole section of the wellbore to isolate a first wellbore zone from a second wellbore zone; a lower completion section having a tubing with a plurality of valves controllable without substantial intervention, at least a first valve of the plurality of valves being disposed between the first packer and the second packer and at least a second valve being disposed below the second packer; an upper completion section engaging the lower completion section and having an electric submersible pumping system to move a fluid through the tubing and a shroud surrounding the electric submersible pumping system; wherein the shroud comprises a landing portion proximate the first packer to sealably receive a pump shroud extending downwardly from the electric submersible pumping system; and a distributed temperature sensing system extending past the first packer, the second packer and the plurality of valves to detect well parameters related to movement of the fluid. 7. A system for completing a subterranean wellbore, comprising: a first packer deployed in a cased section of a wellbore; a second packer deployed below the first packer in an open hole section of the wellbore to isolate a first wellbore zone from a second wellbore zone; a lower completion section having a tubing with a plurality of valves controllable without substantial intervention, at least a first valve of the plurality of valves being disposed between the first packer and the second packer and at least a second valve being disposed below the second packer; an upper completion section engaging the lower completion section and having (1) an electric submersible pumping system to move a fluid though the tubing, (2) a shroud surrounding the electric submersible pumping system, and (3) a production tubing having a bypass and a Y-block in which the electric submersible pumping system is positioned; and a distributed temperature sensing system extending past the first packer, the second packer and the plurality of valves to detect well parameters related to movement of the fluid. 8. A system for completing a subterranean wellbore, comprising: a first packer deployed in a cased section of a wellbore; a second packer deployed below the first packer in an open hole section of the wellbore to isolate a first wellbore zone from a second wellbore zone; a lower completion section having a tubing with a plurality of valves controllable without substantial intervention, at least a first valve of the plurality of valves being disposed between the first packer and the second packer and at least a second valve being disposed below the second packer; an upper completion section engaging the lower completion section and having an electric submersible pumping system to move a fluid through the tubing; and a distributed temperature sensing system to detect well parameters related to movement of the fluid and comprising a stinger extending through the first packer, the second packer and the plurality of valves wherein the first packer has an upper completion section comprising a production tubing having a bypass and a Y-block, a pump being located in the Y-block.
